They are still pretty tough. I have some guitars that are over 50 years old and they don't have the shine that they once did, but the nitro finish isn't that fragile. The humidity is more of an issue. Solid body guitars aren't as delicate as acoustics but they really should be kept in as a humidity free zone as you can find. Mine are in an air conditioned loft and even so my classical guitars can get nearly unplayable in the summers.
Get a dehumidifier.
